Were you able to remove it? If so, how was it installed and how was it uninstalling it? Did they screw through the bed to hold it down? Want to take mine off and just want to know what I’m in for. Thanks I’m advance.

Hi, located in NJ. I'm taking mine off today and was hoping to find out how this gentleman took off the cover. Mines in good (not great) condition but works fine. Looking to sell if anyone's interested. I'm in NJ, so you'll have to come get it.

Love cars,

The High Desert package consists of an electronic controlled magnetic ride control and what most people recognize is the bed system because it is the most noticeable. It is a complete drop in factory installed system that come with tool boxes 

(large beer coolers) down both sides that are very similar to the Chevy Avalanche. They both lock with the vehicle remote like the tailgate. It has three removable covers that allow for large cargo. It also has an area inside that raises to secure small or large cargo, depending on what side of the divider you put your cargo on. I believe it was only available in the 69 inch bed. It also has a support piece that runs up behind the cab, looks just like a Chevy Avalanche, that contains a third brake light.
I just purchased a 2017 High County, 6.2L with the High Desert package. No disrespect to anyones person opinion, but I don’t care for the Avalanche look. I plan on removing it this weekend. If anyone is interested I would like to trade for a nice trifold flat bed cover or sell it for enough to buy one. 
I know the High Desert package, with the ride control, was a $7000 add on. Seems pretty steep to me.

I am located in central Kansas and have many more pictures I just didn’t want to download them all because of file size.

I will try and take pictures and give a brief explanation of the removal process if anyone is interested.

Yes please, always like to learn new things about the K2's.  

 

Thanks for your offer.

Think you will need some of the factory bed caps, otherwise you are going to just have the exposed bed tops.

Maybe a tailgate cap too?
